we only have a lot of renders from the future - which the dev uploaded earlier - purple night, garden party, go-go club + a few individual ones we don't know if they will appear (pool, fitting room, S-dress, expected GB/swing party). For now SC Stories is silent. It's been 2 weeks since the launch.
- Thread starter SC Stories
- Start date
I think Addison's role has not yet been fully defined, but she is already participating in the “conspiracy”. We have indirect evidence that something happened between Hutch and Addison, and Chris knows about it. If the woman in Chris's bed (the nightly phone call to Vi) is Addison, then Chris knows much, much more.

it's Polish not Russian. Russian has a completely different alphabet (letters) - Cyrillic/Glagolitic. On the other hand, I know this language (Russian) enough to understand wtf. I was surprised to see Russian beer (generally unknown to the wider public) on the table in an American bar. However, when I looked at the prices of DAZ - gee, SCS had to spend a lot of money to tell us this story anyway ($1000?), so actually, some elements don't have to mean anything. A beer is a beer. As Tony wrote.

And what would be the difference between "love-without-lust" and "love-with-lust"?
I'll tell you right now:
Love without lust is simply the one that exists between Vivian and Hutch = a boredom of a lifetime
That's why Vivian needs the kind of love that only a real man like Chris can offer her.
Real Man. The response of wife to boss is not possible outside a dark fantasy. Fantasy. This is pretend. The obverse of Sleeping Beauty and Prince Charming. So what is SC's point?And what would be the difference between "love-without-lust" and "love-with-lust"?

Does a Real Man send his lover to be raped? Does a Real Woman accept that from her lover?
Magical. Wife leaves husband at home and drives away to confront boss for sending her to be raped. Petty soon she is being sexual with him again, and there is husband watching through the window. How did he get there? I don't think this is sloppy work on the part of SC. It is intentional.
I don't understand why people insist on seeing wife as one dimensional. Husband has lost his agency. So has wife. I think they are both struggling to be real again against a force that seems irresistible. There is nothing to indicate that wife will be able to act any differently towards husband or boss than she has.
Wife says that boss owns her. And then a few minutes later she is reminding him
but remember....
and he gets it.
SC is radio silent:

It might be that SC does not feel supported by the firestorm of response to part 2. Game abandoned. He would not be the first dev to do that.

At the moment there is absolutely no reason to speculate. It's been just 2 weeks since the release of chap2, way too early to say that the game may be abandoned. Don't forget it's summertime, he could be lying on a beach in the sun. Or maybe spending all his nights in front of the screen working on the chap3. Nobody knows.
But I'm certain that when he will be ready, he will post something here. Good or bad.
I think the reason to speculate is that he did not get the positive response from like minded people that he asked for.
And what are we all doing here since 2 weeks ? If you put aside the negative responses of the few hours after the release, there are a lot of people (you and I included) who are still here to discuss and analyze and theorize,... the story. If it's not a massive positive response, I don't know what to say...
Agreed. Perhaps he is still listening. I think the negativity lasted longer than a few hours. There is a lot less of it now, but it persists. Not that people should not be allowed to say what they think. But it is simply not what he asked for.
If someone, especially an author, an artist, is not open to both the negative and the positive, he will not go very far.

Suggest you read back all 460 pages. This is 99.9% in favor for the dev . THere will always be some who disagree. But, He said from the start... He did this for him... His way some will like it some will not... those that do not, do not have to follow the series. I personally think he is quite talented. A VN... usually not the most accepted form on F95.. However the writing of this makes it more like a mystery novel. You get sucked in , invest in the characters, Guess to what is happening. Get lost in the story/ mystery of it all. Bravo Dev
Interesting points she could have a bit of a mental breakdown but I think she will go with a similar mindset of a stripper/sex worker/what ever you want to call it where in her mind she will make a clear separation that her time with Christian is "business" and in theory doesn't cross that line into personal/pleasure
Now before anyone says anything yes her time with Christian is clearly providing her with pleasure and I'm not denying/challenging that , but the thing I have noticed with Vivian is that she tends to bend/manipulate the reality/rules to get what she wants so to speak so my thoughts around her having it as "business" and "personal/pleasure" being separate parts of her life could fit
Now yes il say if this is her mindset she isn't doing a very good job of it which is fairly safe to say
Now il admit this could be a stretch or it might not portray properly as I may have worded it poorly
Now the thing that sticks out with me and I just can't wrap my head around , so from what we have seen Vivian has always maintained/stated that prior to Christian she's never had any prior thoughts of cheating or even thought about/considered another man
Now the bit that trips me up with this or that I'm on the fence about is that if she has truly never had those thoughts before I genuinely do not see how/understand how she could be seduced by Christian within 5 seconds of meeting him (her words) for me it just doesn't fit , so for me I just don't see how she could have her head turned in that way so to speak that quickly without either already having those thoughts or previous encounters ( now I'm not saying she has)
What I'm saying is that for someone to be married 25 odd years and has never had thoughts of cheating or other men during that time to be seduced/fall for another man within five seconds of meeting them doesn't really fit with the narrative of her claims of loyalty during the marriage
So in a nutshell 2+2 is not adding up to 4 in regards to the situation/information we have at the moment

Indirect evidence - such a post-college. What kind of ? you do not perceive ?
The ease with which Addi comes into direct contact with Hutch, reserved for those closest to her (hugging, stroking her head). Conversations that suggest something more. Great scene when Vi comes to the office
Dialogue about Addi
Chris - [Addi] gains on closer acquaintance
Vi - How many people get this far
Chris - [camera movement, looks at Hutch] Not that many.
Chris - to what do I owe the pleasure [of coming].
Vi- [camera movement, looks at Hutch].
However, the lack of a concrete statement that there was nothing between them on Hutch's part, as if he was circling the subject himself.
Dreams about Addison - as if she has a 3rd sense that senses such things.
On the other hand, knowledge of such a situation in the hands of CHris is truly gold. Especially if she actually sleeps with him, especially if she feels scorned by Hutch.
Which would be true irl. If this were not a dark fantasy.
In light fantasy, Prince Charming kisses Sleeping Beauty, she wakes up and they live happily ever after.
So the obverse in dark fantasy would be
Scummy boss kisses wife, she goes to sleep and nobody ends up happy.
As for husband and officegirl, yes, I yearn for a way for husband to get free of this ugly tale and find happiness. There has been some suggestion that the shock of hair in bed with boss, as he text messages wife, belongs to officegirl. If that is true, she is also under boss's spell, and husband's path to freedom cannot be through her.
You all need to calm down. SC Stories already said before the release of Chapter 2 that he was distancing himself from the forums. He also talked about monthly updates and sneak peaks the day before the release of Chapter 2, so please give him some space.
Some here confuse positivity=conformity with their own moral vision or =positive and uplifitng impact on their own vibe/mood/energy with a positive judgment concerning the artistic quality of writing and visuals (the latter was overwhelmingly the case here in the thread).

If the blond girl in bed is Addison . That might explain why a preview is of Addison (we think) and Vivian in a kiss. That said, maybe the next twisted chapter of Chris is to have them both in his bed ???

He does not ask for only positive reactions. But he does say he seeks encouragement to continue and positive reactions would help with that.
First of all SC has never been super active on the forum, 10 day breaks are the norm for him. Working on the release of part 2 has probably severely strained his time resources, so he needs to take care of life stuff, which is why he wrote right away that part 3 will be later than originally planned. He may also have gotten signals from other devs not to look for the first few days after the release - because it's just unnecessary frustration.
